sounds alot to me. but the heads tend to crack so may need a new one or good secondhand.
most of that 2k is probably labour charges :?

there are a few largos on ebay breaking might be worth asking them if the engines are any good if not find a nissan primera cd20 engine and change the sump so it will fit
or an import serena they have the cd 20 engine in them
